Book signing with Dr Tony Sanfilippo, and his amazing wife Michelle. Tony is the author of “The doctors we need” ⁦@QueensuDOM⁩ ⁦@KingstonHSC⁩ ⁦@queensutime⁩ -a great read on how Canada can solve its doctor shortage problem-a must read!

Interesting work from @Rudnicki_Lab in @NatureComms : Intrinsic dysfunction in muscle stem cells lacking dystrophin begins during secondary myogenesis. tinyurl.com/4byakujj

@DPicketts I would call it a Herculean effort, Nature Genetics should have jumped at it!

Excited to share our paper with Ghayda Mirzaa describing the novel SMARCA1-related NDD. Out today in Nature Communications. rdcu.be/ePaDp

@DPicketts congratulations on a great paper! very cool story

We’re proud to celebrate @CincyKidsHeart's Jeff Molkentin, PhD, for receiving @UCincyMedicine's 2025 Daniel Drake Medal—college's highest honor! His groundbreaking work in cardiovascular biology continues to advance science & inspire next-gen researchers: scienceblog.cincinnatichildrens.org/molkentin-hono…

Congrats to @LorsonLab and colleagues for their new @hmg_journal paper: Novel neurofilament light (Nefl) E397K mouse models of Charcot–Marie-tooth type 2E (CMT2E) present early and chronic axonal neuropathy. tinyurl.com/y9x94c8z

one of the most interesting papers on muscle biology in decades....a challenge to the satellite cell hypothesis!!!! Muscle growth by sarcomere divisions | Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@Matt_Muscle_Guy well done!

Some good news amidst the chaos, my lab officially received our notice of award for a #DoD CDMRP DMD grant focused on evaluating new therapies that impact DMD neurological symptoms. Excited to work on this project with Karen Gamble’s lab in UAB Psychiatry.

very cool paper from Assaf Vardi's group on metacaspase function in diatoms. Metacaspases mediate thermotolerance of diatoms following marine heat waves | bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share that our single-cell analysis of muscle stem cells in two DMD models is now published in Cell Death & Disease. We hope this resource benefits researchers in neuromuscular disease and helps to support the development of stem cell targeted therapies for DMD.

@amacklin10 That was ominous!
